    Now I'm not trying to be a dick here, but previously when this was discussed, the feedback given was that this is more than likely an iPhone and or ios8 issue, and, not an ALP problem.
    Now, we have a new revision, and it states that the location service has been fixed. So, it seems App,e were not the issue, or, it was an issue needing combined resources to repair.
    My next question has to be then, who is at fault or who is responsible to repair the issue with the Bluetooth dropping out continuously?
    As per previouse comments, the fault for want of a better word has been laid on Apple, and this still may be true, but, so was the location services.
    I'm sorry to harp on this, but is ALP addressing this with Apple and or are they trying to resolve this issue for their customers?
    Finally, let me say that ALP are the best out there and I like many wish to see it remain so
    Think to yourself if everyone has had no problem and then apple releases a new version and things start to fall apart how could it be AL's fault. Any new product released should be backwards compatible with all previous products. For location services AL tried a different approach to go around the apple issue. In regard to Bluetooth as I mentioned above AL has tried everything even using different BT chips in their own BT module and its still having issues. Since AL uses BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) so it does not run down your phone batteries that is where the issue is on Apple's end with BLE devices. That is something we still need to wait for apple to address.

    Couldn't have said it better myself. The BLE devices are definitely at the heart of the problem. There are rumors of a 8.3 IOS release soon.

    Separate from BLE iOS 8 has just generally been a disaster for bluetooth in general. 8.1 helped with some, but not all of that.

    It's so bad that some users had to completely reset their iiphones and car stereos to get consistent connectivity. Some of the details and fixes people have tried are documented here. This is occurring across a wide band of bluetooth devices that work fine with non-Apple operating systems or iOS before version 8.

    At this point, the main answer seems to be...wait for iOS 8.2. There's rumors that Apple snuck in bluetooth fixes that were not in the release notes in iOS 8.1.2 because some people say it fixed their issues, but a lot of people are still having problems.

    EDIT: Also, the 1.8 version of the ALPConnect fixed the location services issue as promised...
